This is some start to spring!

Spring arrived officially at 6:02am. However, I think it's on extended vacation in the Carribean. Much of the eastern U.S. is shivering with colder than average temperatures.

It's actually been colder for the first day of spring. Just 6 for a high in 1885, 16 in 1872 and 18 in 1965. Compared to 83 for us just a year ago!

Morning sun today with increasing afternoon clouds. A weak disturbance pulls a few clouds in and may shake a few flurries from the sky, too. Highs reach to about 22 on west winds 10-20mph.

High pressure between Thursday and Saturday spells sun and a slow, but steady warm up. We'll see the mid to upper 30s by Saturday.

Strong low pressure will approach late in the weekend. We'll monitor the track of the system and watch for the potential for accumulating snow. For now, the track, timing and temperatures are far from certain. However, it does look like we will see accumulating snow for Monday.

Don't forget to send us your weather photos to ulocal.....maybe you have tulips or daffy's poking through? Let's find spring around southern Wisconsin in spite of the cold! Tap the ulocal button in our iphone or android apps, or email to ulocal@wisn.com

Forty years ago, one of the greatest boxing matches in history took place in an unlikely setting: the capital of the Philippines. Muhammad Ali's epic win over great rival Joe Frazier in 1975 became known as the "Thrilla in Manila."
